It is notable for being the only roots reggae album to be released on Blue Note Records. After recording one track ('Africa') in London with engineer Dick Cuthell as a demo for label owner Chris Blackwell, Rodriguez was offered a contract to record this album. A critic wrote in 1977 that the album \"does not just reflect the current popular trends, but ... expresses in a definitive way the Jamaican music tradition\". The nine self-composed tracks on the album offer Jamaican rhythms with horn lines between a melodic use and jazz; the latter helped to define something like a new genre, Jamaican jazz, transforming the experience from early ska days into 1970s roots reggae.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Island","offers":[{"title":"LP - Gold","offer_id":50524251652427,"sku":"1162958","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/98c227b9-2f52-499d-9277-abac451a9f4b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728026791"},{"product_id":"jama-rico-40th-anniversary","title":"Jama Rico (40th Anniversary)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRico started his career in the late 1950’s playing with the likes of Prince Buster, Laurel Aitken and Max Romeo as a session musician in addition to creating his own recordings.
